A wacko news reporter fakes her own kidnaping to be famous. Then she gets more and more out of hand framing a colleague for her kidnap and worse.
It's boring after a while.

Yet another in a long line of bad Canadian movies. Appears to be a low budget movie that was poorly made. No name cast working with a stupid, at times unbelievable story. What are supposed to be plot twists can be seen coming from a mile away. I hope the film makers did not expect anyone to be fooled by the juvenile story. The only thing worse than a bad story is the acting. Amateurish at best and just awful at times. Maybe they were trying to spoof real actors? This movie is so bad that it almost forces you to watch to see what stupidity will come next. If you have a pet, spend your time with it. You'll be more entertained.

I am someone who watches Lifetime movies to poke fun at them with their dad, however, this one was just pure torture. The first thing I did after watching this movie was read reviews to check if everyone else was left in pure despair once it was over. And lemme tell you, I was SHOCKED to read that "critics" believe that this movie is mediocre at worst and that it's at least worth a watch. IT'S NOT. JUST TRUST ME.
This movie is absolute garbage and such a waste of 2+ hours (with ads). First, the main character, Sasha, is just a crazy lady who wants to further her career in broadcasting by faking her own kidnapping. Okay, that's fine. The issue is that she is the most unlikable main character ever. But it's fine since there has to be other likable characters right? NOPE. Every single character in this movie is a walking comic book villain. Except for the "alleged kidnapper" Diet Nick Jonas (honestly I don't remember his name but he looks like a bootleg Nick Jonas) but he was in the movie for like 10 minutes so he wasn't a well established character at all. I literally can't tell you his personality except for being polite and acting like a piece of styrofoam.
The "heroes" (???) are literally the worst people too, it's impossible for the audience to root for anyone!! Also where are the police? Probably tooting around somewhere because everyone in this universe is the worst.
Also, the most important scenes happen in the first 15 minutes and the last 5 minutes of the movie, the remaining 1hr 10 minutes is just a bunch of static. I'm kidding, that would be more exciting than what happened which is just characters sulking around and looking suspicious.
I wish I could be refunded my time after watching this. Again, I watch these movies to poke fun at them and enjoy laughing at the ridiculousness that happens on screen, but "Abuducted on Air" left me enraged and physically in pain.

This was a surprisingly good movie with a good plot based with sprinklings of a true story from 2016 concerning Sherri Papini. The bad reviews kept me from watching this movie for a while until one outlandishly bad review gave me the impression that the reviewer most likely did not watch the movie at all and just wrote a pile of rubbish. I was proved right after watching the movie. Although this movie will not win any major awards, it is a good watch.
